Chapter 444: Brother Alphabet can't either

"Jabari!" Worried that Parker's immersion in the confrontation with Li Yang would disrupt the team's overall offense and defense, Kidd couldn't help but stand up and shout Parker's name on the sidelines when the Bucks attacked again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Parker knew exactly what Kidd meant, he nodded slightly, he came out of Duke University and was a very team-minded player, he suppressed the idea of continuing to play against Li Yang, and was ready to look for opportunities to respond in the next games.

However, until the end of the first half, Parker didn't find such an opportunity.

The Celtics have lost two in a row, and Li Yang is very determined to win this game, so Li Yang can be said to have done his best on the court in this game, and he is strong enough on both the offensive and defensive ends.

At the end of the first half, Li Yang scored 20 points, while delivering 4 assists and grabbing 4 rebounds, and also grabbed 1 block and 2 steals, under the leadership of Li Yang, the Celtics led the Bucks by 10 points at halftime.

On the other side, Parker was completely lost under Li Yang's defense, facing Li Yang, the league's top second and third defenders, Parker shot 0 of 5 in the first half, did not score, and also had 3 turnovers.

At halftime, Parker stayed in the locker room with a serious face, and Kidd, who came over, immediately took the initiative to enlighten and comfort: "Jabari, don't be discouraged, Li Yang is the league's top small forward, although his years in the league and his identity cannot be compared with LeBron James and Kevin Durant, but he has grown into a star at the same level as them this season, and he is a real league superstar!"

"You know, even Kevin Durant and LeBron James were plagued by Li Yang's defense in last year's playoffs. ”

Jabari Parker nodded slightly after listening, indeed, Li Yang's defensive ability has been recognized by the whole league, even if James and Durant face Li Yang, it can't be said to be pleased, thinking of this, his heart is a lot more comfortable.

"He's also very offensive and stronger than I thought!" Parker then looked up again, and said to Kidd with a solemn face, although he was helpless, he had to admit that he was really struggling to defend Li Yang.

"Yes, after a summer, he's a lot better offensively. Kidd also nodded at this time, "After the second half of the game starts, Jabari, you go to play against another striker, and Li Yang's defense is handed over to Giannis." ”

Parker's original intention was to hope that Kidd would arrange more pinching attacks on Li Yang after the start of the second half of the game, but what he didn't think about was that Kidd directly adjusted Giannis Antetokounmpo to go to the main defense, although he was a little unwilling, he still nodded again, this is the biggest advantage of a player like Duke University who pays attention to team basketball, that is, obeying the overall interests of the team.

At the start of the second half, Li Yang found that the defender in front of him had changed, no longer Jamari Parker, but Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was tall and long-armed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a player from Greece who is known to fans as Brother Alphabet because of his very long name, a talented and very unique player.

With Li Yang's physical condition, playing the No. 3 position can be said to be basically in an advantageous position, aside from his perverted physical fitness, even if it is only about height and arm span, he generally does not suffer.

However, when it comes to the alphabet brother in front of him, Li Yang is at a disadvantage, the guy in front of him is 2.11 meters tall, his arm span and hand width are more perverted than Li Yang, and he is a point guard, but he has the mobility and ball control ability of an average guard player, which is very different.

When he first entered the league, his performance was not too impressive, but in the second half of his rookie season, he began to show his talent and ability, and this season he was directly reused by Kidd and promoted to the starting lineup, which was used to defend Li Yang at this time.

Li Yang controlled the ball, glanced at the defender in front of him, who was taller than himself, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Li Yang also had to admit that the guy in front of him was indeed a talented player, and he was also a very potential defensive player, but at this stage, defensive skills and experience were not enough to create too much trouble for himself.

After shaking the ball back and forth, he suddenly started to rush forward, and Li Yang immediately made a fake action of stopping to shoot in the middle distance, and Li Yang immediately took a big step and directly broke through Brother Alphabet's defense and entered the inside line.

When Li Yang broke through this season, his control of the rhythm has become more and more proficient, and he is no longer as blind as when he first entered the league, but his speed and explosiveness have improved after training, and combined with his control of the rhythm, it is impossible to guard.

At this time, Brother Alphabet didn't pay attention for a while, so Li Yang rushed directly past him, and when he reacted again, Li Yang had already entered the interior to avoid the defense and scored two points on the rebound.

Li Yang's offense is obviously not just about breaking, and his scoring has been able to improve dramatically this season, not only because of more shots, but also because of his improved shooting ability.

For a tall and long-arm player like Brother Shang, if Li Yang holds the ball and shoots the basketball, it is naturally likely to be greatly affected, but once Li Yang starts to run without the ball, the opponent is very helpless.

Brother Alphabet is best at the defensive end is still to assist in defense and make up defense, followed by defending against the ball, and his weakness is to prevent running without the ball, his height is too tall, even if his movement ability is very good, but after all, he still can't compare with Li Yang, who is originally very good at running without the ball and is flexible.

In the half-court attack, Li Yang made a quick stop and ran back in the run, and then went around to the three-point line to receive the ball with the help of his teammates' cover, and at this time, Brother Alphabet was still rushing out of the side of the covering player, although Brother Alphabet's pace was very big, and he rushed over to defend in two steps, but this kind of defense was still too slow for Li Yang.

"Huh!"

I saw Li Yang jump up steadily after receiving the ball and shoot the basketball, and the next moment, the basketball passed through the net and hit a three-point shot!

11 points, in less than 8 minutes, Li Yang scored 11 points on the court to improve his score to 31, and also allowed the Celtics to maintain a double-digit lead after the start of the third quarter.

When Li Yang went off the court to prepare for the fourth quarter of the game, Kidd couldn't help but rub his head off the court, the two best No. 3 players on his team were so difficult to defend Li Yang, it seemed that two people had to be arranged to defend together.
