Chapter 488 - 9 consecutive games 40+
Li Yang scored 5 points in a row to make the Pelicans more and more vigilant, and also made them pay more attention to Li Yang's defense, and their defense did have some effect, and in the next two rounds, Li Yang was unable to score.
69:62, the difference between the two teams is 7 points, the Pelicans attack, in the few rounds that Li Yangshu did not score, the Pelicans did not be able to seize the opportunity to narrow the score, after the start of the third quarter of the game, I don't know if the focus is more on the defensive end, the Pelicans' offensive efficiency does not look good.
After Holiday controlled the ball to the half, he chose to play with Davis to block and dismantle, this is their regular tactic, although Davis's lethality in this game is not as perverted as Li Yang, but it is also very large, when Davis moved to the side after the completion of the block, Jeff Green and Smart, who were defending, were involuntarily attracted to the defensive attention, seizing this opportunity, Holiday quickly rushed to the basket.
Salinger's defense at this time seemed a little careless, and his speed back to the basket was obviously not enough, which made Holiday very high, accelerated forward, and went straight to the basket.
It's just that what Holiday didn't notice was that Li Yang, who was originally defending Evans in the bottom corner, was rapidly approaching him at this time.
Evans' shooting was not stable, which allowed Li Yang to reassure him to shrink the defense, he quickly approached Holiday and saw Holiday holding the ball to the basket, he immediately jumped high from the side and back, and the huge palm fanned towards the ball raised by Holiday like the sky.
"Smack!"
Holiday hadn't understood what had happened, and Li Yang's big palm had already been heavily fanned on the basketball, which naturally caused an uproar at the scene.
Smart, who followed up, picked up the basketball instigated by Li Yang, and when he saw Li Yang blocking, he landed on the ground and turned forward, and immediately stuffed the ball into Li Yang's hands.
"Retreat!
After Li Yang got the ball, he quickly killed the other half of the court, and at this time, Monty Lianms, who was on the sidelines, was busy waving his hand and shouting to the sidelines.
The Pelicans players have a good speed of retreat, and Evans is indeed very concerned about Li Yang, who has the ball in his hand, and Li Yang came over to defend as soon as he arrived at halftime.
However, Li Yang, who rushed up all over the court, didn't pay attention to Evans' defense at all, and a slow change of direction feint shook out of the breakthrough space from Evans's side, and then suddenly accelerated to leave Evans directly behind.
Taking another step forward, Li Yang came to the three-point line, and at this time, Davis immediately came up, but he didn't dare to completely expand the top defense, with Li Yang's speed, he really wanted to top the defense, and nine times out of ten he would be overwhelmed by Li Yang.
"Squeak!"
And when he saw that although Davis made up for the defense, but people chose to shrink the defense, the corners of Li Yang's mouth were slightly raised, accompanied by the friction of his shoes against the floor, he just came to the three-point line and jumped up suddenly and shot!
Young grabbed a three-pointer...... Wow, the ball is in! Young's offense is still hot!
When Li Yang unreasonably made a shot from outside the three-point line and threw the ball into the basket safely, Mike Brin couldn't help but exclaim again.
"Since the start of the second quarter of the game, Yang's offensive state is too hot, as long as he is given a little space to shoot, Yang will be able to complete the score, such an attack is terrifying!"
The Pelicans can also feel that Li Yang's attack is too terrifying, and the third quarter of the game is only three minutes into the game, but Li Yang has already scored 8 points and increased his score to 31 points.
Subsequently, the Pelicans also continued to feel the impact of Li Yang's scoring.
After the block, he shot backwards in the face of two defenders, made a foul after grabbing an offensive rebound under the basket, seized the opportunity to defend and counterattacked a dragon layup, and made a mid-range turnaround jumper from the baseline......
Li Yang sent the ball into the basket again and again amid the shouts of Mike Brin on the sidelines and the cheers of the Celtics fans in front of the screen, and his score was also climbing, and after 8 minutes of the third quarter, Li Yang's score had soared to 39!
When Li Yang's score reached 39, the Celtics fans in front of the screen could no longer sit still, and Mike Brin on the sidelines became louder and louder.
"Young has scored 39 points! If it were Stevens' rotation habits, Young would have been substituted off the court in one minute, and in one minute, would Young be able to score again? Oh, Young got the ball......
Mike Brin originally wanted to raise a suspense for fans to speculate, but it was clear that fans didn't have the heart to think about it at the moment, and their attention was all focused on Li Yang, who was in control of the ball in the middle of the court.
The Pelicans' offense did not advance, Li Yang grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the five Pelicans didn't think about grabbing rebounds at all, and the first time they chose to retreat, obviously, they were very afraid of Li Yang's counterattack, especially in this situation where Li Yang is very likely to attack directly.
Li Yang simply slowed down the pace at this time, and slowly came to the front court with the ball, and when Li Yang stood two steps outside the three-point line, Evans and Davis appeared in front of him.
Glancing at the two defenders in front of him, Li Yang stretched out his hand to signal Jeff Green not to step forward to block and disassemble, Green immediately walked away after receiving Li Yang's signal, Evans and Davis immediately forced to take a step, ready to start directly pinch attack.
At this time, the ball in Li Yang's hand was passed out and passed to Green, who had just left two steps.
Seeing Li Yang pass the ball out, Evans and Davis involuntarily slowed down, after all, they can't let Jeff Green directly come to a big gap.
At this moment, Li Yang, who had just passed the ball, quickly started and rushed to Jeff Green's side to ask for the ball.
Evans and Davis were not slow to react, they quickly rushed towards Li Yang, and when Li Yang received the ball, they almost stopped in front of Li Yang to complete the pinch again.
It's just that that's just almost, and they still can't compare to Li Yang in terms of speed, especially Li Yang, who has no intention of calculating.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two did not completely close and block, Li Yang, who had just gotten the ball, rushed out like lightning and rushed towards the left side where Davis was.
Davis, who was not able to surround Li Yang, was forced to retreat at the moment until they retreated to the three-point line, and when they saw that something was wrong, the other players of the Pelicans were also busy moving in this direction, and there were five to block Li Yang.
The Pelicans' defense is not unimportant, but for Li Yang, who is about to be replaced, he is also imperative for this ball.
Li Yang was not arrogant to the point of directly hitting five, so he chose to ...... directly Attack!
"Squeak!"
Li Yang's emergency stop was without warning, so sudden that Davis couldn't stop his pace and rushed directly half a step.
Although it was only half a step of space, it was enough for Li Yang, and at the same time as the emergency stop, he dribbled the ball behind his back, and the ball that he was originally dribbling with his left hand was handed over to his right hand, and Li Yang immediately raised the ball and jumped up!
"Young dribbles behind his back and stops back......!
Evans was on the side, Davis was in front, and the two reacted quickly to jump to block Li Yang's shot, and they did what they could, but they didn't get the effect they wanted.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound is like a fuse, igniting the passion of the commentary seats on the sidelines and the Celtic fans in front of the screen!
"The ball went in! Young hit a difficult goal and scored 41 points! Young scored 40+ in 9 straight games! He equaled Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant's scoring record! God, this is amazing!"
